Gone but not forgotten

The V&A's Lost Music Venues exhibition scheduled for next year promises to pay tribute to some of the spaces we've loved and lost. As the Needle Drop has reported, there's currently a call out for the submission of relevant artifacts, which closes at the end of this month. I wonder whether anyone will donate a pint of the green stuff from the Moon?

The initiative has been backed by the Music Venue Trust, whose work to prevent further closures is critical. The proposed exhibition may help to bring certain venues back to life, but it will only do so briefly and within the confines of the museum's galleries. Better to fight and not lose them in the first place.
